This is weirdly heartwarming. I remember first joining OKC, I recognised a friend of my sibling and was terrified she’d tell my sibling and that it would end up with a huge family announcement I was on there

I dip in and out and have done for years. Pretty much always a disaster. As a fat woman reading @DarwinBabe’s first post made me cry as that’s the only kind of man that ever ‘wants’ to actually date me, online or off. (Something that old disers used to mock me about was how fat and ugly I was)

that’s so horrible to hear, although (sadly) not totally unexpected. People can be dicks. If it makes any difference, I really enjoy reading your posts and it’s totally disgusting people have been so horrible. But as @_Em said, anyone being an arse wouldn’t last 5 minutes now X

I have in all seriousness got back into the tinder thing recently after coming out of a 2 1/2 relationship.

Going well so far. Seems to be people who actually have similar interests to me and that I click with, which didn’t really happen three or so years ago. Losing loads of weight and dressing better probably helps the ol’ swipe ratio too

That’s absolutely fucking horrific by the way. I think quite a few people (me included) came back and started posting more when the forum moved, but I’m sorry if you felt people were turning a blind eye to that kind of behaviour.
